Today we woke to the most gorgeous scene in our front yard. These spruce trees hold a special place in my heart when Winter arrives. They are so beautiful all dressed in white!
The buses were cancelled today, and I was happy to let everyone stay home from school and play in the snow today. I loved watching Ollie play with Lily as they ran through the kitchen while I canned tomatoes. Fin was piggy backing Sawyer and calling it his rocket ship ride. They spent the majority of the day lost in games of make-believe and I lost track of how many times I put their snow gear off.
The big boys enjoyed building snow ramps and jumps for their GT racers from crazy places in the yard. They are loving the steep hill just beyond our front stairs and have made it quite slippery! They are hoping their jumps freeze over night so they can test them in the morning.
When they got in from outside, they were happy to smell fresh cinnamon buns. The entire pan was gone in minutes.
I was grateful to sneak into town with the truck to do our weekly grocery shop sans kiddos. The big kids do a great job keeping an eye on everyone while I'm gone. I am also grateful for big kids who help lug and unload said groceries after I get home.
We were blessed to enjoy a warm meal together as a family in a warm home. Fin and Ollie asked to put Lily and Sawyer to sleep tonight and I loved listening to Sawyer laugh as Ollie read his book humorously. Fin tickled Lily before saying goodnight and her giggles echoed through the kitchen. It was nice to have everyone being helpful and getting along today!
